Any ideas on their value?

ah, the days when you could get those from o'shea's for $.80 each. i think they sell them for $5 each now, which is probably a little more than you can get them for individually on ebay.

Seriously? Are they that easy to find? I've been collecting for years and they're the first boxed (let alone sealed) Atari games I've seen. I have focused my collecting on the NES era and later, but I still look for anything and everything. *Edit* And what about the sealed Beat 'Em and Eat 'Em? It's an R5 for the 2600, but I forgot to mention it when I titled the thread...

yep, oshea's ltd. bought a couple of million 2600/7800 carts at liquidation years ago, and the titles you have are still available at their site.

sealed beat 'em and eat 'em, not so sure about, a complete one just sold for $50 on ebay, so at least that.

$50-$60 is the going rate for a sealed copy.

Here's the kicker...They didn't buy them they got them for free.

Yeah they did, but they weren't supposed to...they stiffed the Tramiels out of the money.

I appreciate you guys for giving me the info. That's wild that O'Shea's got all those games free!

I was told they were meant to be sold on a consignment basis but Atari went under. Either way free is free. They didn't pay for these.
